I am 38 yrs.old, married 20 yrs. and I have 5 kids...
I started gaining weight while pregnant. It is hard to lose those last 10 pounds which just kept adding on. I would lose and then gain back. My husbands job had him moving so much the past few years it was horrid, like moving across country every few months. The stress of that, with him being gone a lot did not help me to stay real commited to losing.

This year I went and got a check up and decided to take it serious , to lose 60 pounds. I have lost 25 so far, in two months. I do not expect to lose it all fast. I want to keep it off. I want to make a lifestyle change so I "CAN" keep it off.

The phentermine has helped to keep me from feeling hungry, I really does work in that area. I am able to get through the day with out cravings and I am better able to eat in the right way.So thats it ,I am hoping I can continue to lose and end up feeling better in general and have the energy and lifestyle I want

• How much weight do you want to lose?
40 more pounds

• How much time do you hope to take to reach your goal?
No limit, I hope as fast as I can, but as long as it just keeps moving along I will feel good.

• What methods will you use to accomplish your goal?
Eating healthy food. Veggies and fruit...chicken, fish...that sort of thing and exercise more of course.

• Who or what can motivate you to help you reach your goal?
Myself really. My husband is happy enough with me the way I am. But I feel bad about myself. I want to just throw on some jeans and a tee shirt and run out the door feeling good. I just do not feel healthy. I want that feeling.

• Is your goal realistic?
I think it is.

• When do you want to start?
I am 2 months into it so far. Have lost 25 pounds and feel better than I did. I still have a long way to go.
